Nutribiotic grape seed extract, Nutribiotic GSE is grapeFRUIT seed extract, which is entirely a different animal than grape seed extract. GSE works wonderfully for yeast issues for my family. It does have phenol effect, so if your child starts becoming hyper, you can consider giving it along with the new No-Fenol enzyme. This combination is wonderful for my family. http://www.autismchannel.net/dana/yeast.htm Dana Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest guest Posted April 30, 2002 Report Share Posted April 30, 2002 Dana, My son swallows pills better than any other form of supplementation. Would a grapefruit seed extract PILL be too much for my 5 year old??

Guest guest Posted April 30, 2002 Report Share Posted April 30, 2002 << Jack immediately became calmer with the > addition of the GSE, that day. That's great! But other parents need to know that if their child is on an SSRI, they should NOT take GSE. There could be a serious interaction.

Here is a copy of a message I wrote for another forum ~~~~~ I have never used GSE as a powder/capsule, just as liquid. So I don't know if it is effective on yeast when it is a powder, but I assume it would be. My bottle of GSE says 10 drops is 100 mg of GSE. So it is 10 mg per drop. And the child dose is 1-3 drops, 1-2 times per day. So using the lowest dose, it would be 10 mg for one drop. If your capsules say 250 mg, then that is more like the adult dose, which my bottle says 5-15 drops, 1-3 times each day. So using the highest dose, 15 drops is 150 mg. So giving your child 250 mg, is like a very large adult dose. Now this is assuming that the mg for the powder is directly comparable to the mg for the liquid drops, and I don't know if that compares straight across like this. But this is the info I have, you can decide for yourself. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest guest Posted May 1, 2002 Report Share Posted May 1, 2002 Just had a thought put the liquid form in a capsule. I am sure you can get empty capsules, or empty yourself, It then would only work on the gut. nne > > Dana, > > > > My son swallows pills better than any other form of supplementation. > > Would a grapefruit seed extract PILL be too much for my 5 year old?? > > > Here is a copy of a message I wrote for another forum > > ~~~~~ > > I have never used GSE as a powder/capsule, just as liquid.

Guest guest Posted May 3, 2002 Report Share Posted May 3, 2002 GSE is also great for diaper rash, cuts and scraped I keep a bottle diluted in my diaper bag. Also we wash our hand with a squirt at the park etc. Aslo keep a spray bottle at home and clean counters with it. You can use for sore throats Gargle with it. flush ears with it for infection (as long as ear drum ist ruptured. <A HREF= " http://www.nutriteam.com/gse.htm " >More Grapefruit Seed Extract</A> <A HREF= " http://www.nutriteam.com/3opinion.htm " >Practical Uses for Grapefruit Seed Extract.</A> hope this helps AMY MOMMY TO 4 KIDDIES Chelsea 9 Carrigian 5 4 Chaela Noelle 15 mo from the mouth of a 4 yr old " your not fat mommy just squishy!

Guest guest Posted May 3, 2002 Report Share Posted May 3, 2002 folks... GSE is GRAPEFRUIT seed extract... not GRAPE seed extract... make sure you get the right one! you should be able to find this at local food store... liquid is what most people use... 2-3 drops 2/3 times per day for kids... for adults, 8-10 drops 2/3 times a day for first few days, then 2-3 drops for maintenance seems to be what is recommended for yeast control....the stuff tastes terrible...so, you'll have to mask it in juice or something.

Guest guest Posted May 3, 2002 Report Share Posted May 3, 2002 I have just started my son on GSE. I am giving him 3-4 drops only in the mornings. He has been so much less hyperactive since I started GSE. I did twice that amount but he started coughing a lot so I had to reduce his dosage. But, he is playing by himself more and doesn't talk as much as he used to. He is obsessing with his wires. However, he is soooo well behaved now. I don't know what to make of it. I was also chelating for eight weekends and I just stopped after he got a stomach virus. I was doing 50/50 DMSA/ALA every three hours during the day and every four hours at night. This has happened before. I would stop chelation, he would regress and then he would make some nice gains. I'll never get used to it. Fear is always with me. Sigh!

Guest guest Posted May 3, 2002 Report Share Posted May 3, 2002 forgot to mention... anyone who is on medication should make sure they check with their doctor prior to taking this... kids on SSRI (i.e., paxil, etc.) should not be taking this before consulting with their physicians first. apparently, something in the GSE, actually in anything with grapefruit (fruit itself, the juice, the extract) makes the body " absorb " more of the medication. So if you are on medication, or your child is, be very careful about giving them this without first checking with a doctor. just wanted to mention that for everyone.
